Wealth and Resources II

Reversing now.

If we were only allowed to consume sustainable resources, then the world’s population would automatically control itself.

We might have spare time and we might even consume non-essentials. But nowhere near as much as today.

I still believe they term ‘wealth’ is best used to measure unsustainable consumption.

And, just oddly, I think there  is a link between the emotional state and unsustainable consumption.

Excess and unsustainable consumption is like an addiction; we gorge on the unsustainable resources and yet this makes us unhappy.

Therefore restricting ourselves to sustainable consumption might lead to contentment (just a note on terminology – someone who is ‘happy’ all the time should be locked up).
